Germany

Lately I've been thinking more and more about why it is i do what i do. More so in trying to figure out why I feel so strongly about public art. I know surface reasons, but really trying to think back to early influences in my life that perhaps impacted me but i've forgotten about along the way. And so, last night, the memory of the homes and buildings that I would often see as a kid in Germany popped into my head. How could I have forgotten house after house painted with a mural. Homes, restaurants, shops, churches...they all had a painting on them.
